good question. I feel my reaction would be a little more optimism, but cautious optimism. If we blow out Atlanta I'll feel better than I do not, obviously but I'm really anxious to see what happens in Seattle. A lot of talking heads and people on this site, me included, thought in preseason we would be contenders. At Seattle will show us what we are. If we are going to contend for the NFC then games like Seattle need to be won.It seems a lot of people are overreacting about this loss (guilty as charged). Though I can see where people are coming from, it’s literally only week one. You have to look at the circumstances. For one, we had no preseason. Everyone and I mean everyone has looked rusty to a degree. Cowboys being Cowboys, of course they look rustier than average. We almost never start the season looking good with the exception of last year (that was against the Giants tho...). In addition to that, we had a very strange offseason. I’m sure we all know why it’s been strange, but nonetheless, I’m sure this has caused some strength and conditioning trouble for certain players (Collins for example).
Long story short, what will your reaction be if Dallas blows out the Falcons, say 45-14? Will you overreact like we did with this loss and say we’re going to the Super Bowl? Will you call it a fluke and proceed to believe this team is a fraudulent team in a bad division?
Honestly I'm more worried about what my reaction will be if Atlanta blows us out. This team seems like it has a fragile psyche, if Matty Ice and Gurly come in and destroy our defense then we are in real trouble for the rest of the season.
